Working is vital to pay the bills but we all know that too much can be bad for your health. With the UK having one of the longest working weeks in Europe and 1 in 8 people working a 48 hour week or more, unions have been putting pressure on employers to introduce more flexible working conditions.
Overworked staff will become more unproductive, less interested in their work, suffer from mood swings and fatigue which can lead to more sickness and time off work.
Working long hours restricts your rest and social time and makes it hard to see friends and family and get into a steady exercise routine.
Training for 45 minutes 1-3 times a week before, during, after work or at the weekend can help you achieve your goals and improve your health and fitness and is also a good way of relieving stress.
